Have a Tea party that is fancy, elegant, and looks expensive... But it isn't!

I made some Tissue paper Pom Poms, and hung them from the trees. We brought out our coffee table, and covered with a white sheet, and some table linens from the second hand store.

we had a spare table set up ... the kids wooden picnic table...

Making the large Pom Poms really added that special "umph" (is that a word?) to the event. Cost : $5!

The big girls sat at our patio chairs, and I co-ordinated the colors for them in Green's and purple's...

We bought Tea Cups from second hand shops and they are all mis matched. Perfect!!!

I went through my jewelry, and brought out my grandmother's jewelry, jewelry I have had since I was a kid, and some other chunky pieces I had.... Took a mirror (hanging in the house) and laid it on top of a stool, and then layed the jewelry around on it. Voila! A "Prett'ys " Station!

What a fun way to dress up for the party, and the girls felt special using real jewelry.

This little sweetie, wore all the rings on ONE finger. =)

Next; the Dress up Station!

Hats, fur scarves, feather boas......

I set up a Girls tulle bed canopy in the trees around the dress up station, It looked so whimsical!

We set up another mirror against the tree, so they could see themselves in their new attire.

Just a simple basket filled with all the items.

Mama and the little K Kinder!

Now they are set for the party!

Each mama brought WONDERFUL desserts and finger foods for the party. With everyone pitching in, it was a great success!

Aren't these cupcakes adorable????? Thanks JEN!

Yummy goodness!

We served pink lemonade... And another Mama shared a lesson on the Proper way of drinking Tea.

It was alot of fun!

After tea, we set out bowls of beads for the girls to make their own jewelry to take home with them.

Now we can't have these little girls all dressed up without some photos can we?

I have an old children's bench, I set it out with our front door garden plants next to it.. instant photo spot!
